Knolls Resort Motel

Never Stay Here!

We booked a room here last minute for my daughters cheerleading competition in November, I know it was off season but it was the worst hotel/motel experience I have ever had, the manager was nonchalant about the numerous issues we had from a broken window to noisy "permannent residents" at the motel, aparently during the winter months they open the motel up like a rooming house to pay the bills, these people like to ignore the 10 pm quiet rule till 1:30 in the a.m. and then again from 3:30 till 4:30am needless to say very little sleep, we booked a "deluxe" room and it was small and old and had rusty faucets and did not even come with cups to rinse when you brushed your teeth or shampoo, nothing, just one wrapped bar of soap, unfourtantly since we booked last minute we could not cancel and go somewhere else or we would have.

1 1/2 star hotel

great location near boardwalk and in the heart of Wildwood. Hotel room was clean but don't expect any degree of luxury. Overall, a place to rest your head at a decent price.

needs improvement

the motel has a wondeful location and was built in the 50's but it has not had a good cleaning in a long time and is in need of paint and some new beds. our room smelled of smoke and the bathroom was dirty, the towels are very small and the pillows are like a rock. Take cleaning supplies and your own linens.

needs a good cleaning

The rooms smell of smoke and the bathroom is far from clean. The motel was built in the 50's and could be charming with some paint and elbow grease. Take towels with you as the towels are the size of a large hand towel and thin. The pillows are like a brick and the mattress is thin. One block to the beach and boardwalk. Very close to the rides.

Loud and unable to sleep the whole night.

What was nice was the hotel is conveniently located 2 short blocks from the board walk.But the bad far outweighed the good.The street noise was so loud and the people were making so much noise it was impossible to sleep.Never again.

Sleep in your car

This hotel looked like it hadn't been remodeled since the eighties. We arrived around 11:30 or so, and we knew that we were early. But, since there was no parking and we didn't want any problems since we didn't have one of those tags for the rear view mirror, we decided to let the front desk know we arrived. The manager was a complete jerk. 'I don't know why people think they can check in whenever they want.". This is what he said to us and then realized he had two rooms ready. He could have said "We may not have anything ready right now, I'll check" or "If you want to head up to the boardwalk and leave a number, I'll give you a call as soon as a room opens up." The rooms were filthy, we slept on top of the covers, in our clothes. THe best thing was the pool and the fact that it's about two small blocks from the boardwalk. But I most definitely wouldn't stay there again or recommend it to anyone.

Needs fixing

sink half off the wall to noisey at nite people yelling and you could here what they were talking about though the walls

Needs Improvement

The locate from the broadwalk was nice, the hotel outside and inside was out dated, the bathroom was pink, and out dated from the '70's, there was only one electric plug that had every plugged into it at once. The Tv, micowave, was in a Tv entertainment center. The lamp was sitting on top of the entertainment center. The coverlet had spots on it, from previous quest. The room smelled meldew! The pool was in the back of the Hotel (motel), with no life guard on duty. The free parking, wow; if you can find a parking space. Think, I had to pay in advance and checked out within a day. They can keep the money for a donation to do some upgrades.

Needs Improvement

Beds were uncomfortable, no curtain on the window facing other rooms and pool, the pool looked like someone died in it, the keys wouldn't open the doors. it was ok for the price and for the weekend. I would not stay for more than a weekend.

Arrogant Desk Clerk

From check in to check out the desk clerk, who would not give me his name, made the entire stay very uncomfortable. He lied, was evasive and gave a very shady impression. He asked for a credit card, drivers license and that a personal information card be filled out at check in. He also required a $20 cash room key deposit, that he didn't provide a receipt for. I was traveling with two young grandchildren and he gave us a room with no heat. He said all the rooms had heat. After several trips to the lobby asking him where the heat was and how to turn it on, our stay was in late March on a cool damp weekend. I finally asking him to go to the room and show me how to turn the heat on. He then changed his mind and said that room my room didn't have heat and he forgot to give me a portable heater.

Not Horrible, but needs some improvement

The good: The location is great, one block to the bordwalk. There is a small, but decent pool. The bathroom was clean and stocked with shampoo, soap and TP. The bad: I don't think they changed the bed sheets since the last people were there. I found long womens hair in my bed.

Expected better than what it is

I wouldn't even rate it a half of a star; Very poor service, the concierge was rude, the room was very small, and the beds were very uncomfortable. The only good thing about it was the location.

Needs Improvement

The Manager is a little aggressive and unfriendly. The unit was a little outdated, but still comfortable. Great location to the boardwalk and beach, and the RideAid across the street is very convenient.
